Condition of Farmers.

The reason why farmers are
largely in the background is not
from any lack of native talent
among them, but because the cir
cumstanceS and condition of their
lives are such that they cannot or
have not improved opportunities
for self development. What the
farmer of to day needs is freer aud
more frequent intercourse with his
fellow man. In the years past he
had been confined to his farm and
excluded from nearly all society,
except in weekly religious meetings
at the village church, aud when he
was called out to political gather
ipgs to become enthused in favor
,of some candidate for political
Dreferment. The result has been
that other men,o of wider experience,
bnt often of less ability, have kept
at the front and held the reins in
their own hands.-M. Whitehead.
